Hello, I'm having a hard time how to open a preference dialog from code.
Let's say I have a ListPreference with the key "abc" defined in XML. When the user navigates through the preferences and clicks on that ListPreference, a dialog pops up and the user can select it. Is there any way to open that dialog from code, e.g. simulating that the user opens preferences and clicks on the item? I've tried several ways, eg. ( (android.preference.DialogPreference) prefMgr.findPreference( "abc" )).showDialog(null); but with no result. (This does not work because it is a protected method). Of course I gut build my own dialog which looks like the dialog of the preference and does the same, but that would be building the same thing again and I had to track the changes done to either dialog/ preference to update the other. StackOverflow does not seem to have an answer, see eg [1] or [2], maybe here's someone that can tell if it's possible (or at least say it is not)?
